What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreWhat Ava loves most about nature is how she feels when she is doing what she loves most, being outdoors. Ava says the way it being outdoors in nature makes her feel curious and adventurous. She knows many facts about plants and animals of Florida and likes to identify or learn new things about nature she hasn’t encountered. In school, Ava participates in the agriculture program that focuses on sustainable food sources and Florida crops. Her goal is to become a vet working with wild animals.
My favorite animal is the Florida Panther because it is resourceful, resilient and can adapt to many different environments and conditions it can endeavor. Ava says the status of the Florida Panthers is concerning, and that all Floridians should educate themselves on the this subject. The Florida Panther also stand out as her favorite because they are graceful, amazing animals. Ava believes that she too possesses the likeness of the Florida Panther, as she says I can adapt to anything.
Ava’s favorite outdoor activities include bike riding, playing soccer, fishing, horseback riding and overall just spending time outdoors and with animals.
